Tunze stream for a 40g?

[DamageInc]

Will the Tunze stream be ok for a 40g breeder tank? I like the magnet holder specifically but I think it might be to much. The tank specs are 36x18x16.

Thanks

I have a 58 gal (36x18x21) and run two 6000's. It is a mixed reef and I run it from 30% to about 70% with no problems.

It depends on what you keep.

It's a mixed reef and the tank is fairly shallow. I have a 2-3" sandbed. I'm just wondering if it would kick up to much sand.

Can you lower the flow on it if necessary?

 

[rvitko]

Yes, but the flow would still kick up fine sand, if it was 2-3mm coral sand it probably isn't a big issue.

crash519,

Where do you have the Streams placed in the tank ? I have the same setup and think they might be a bit much for the 58 with fish in the tank. I have my streams on the back wall facing in towards the middle front of the tank.

DamageInc,

I wouldn't go with a stream for that size of a tank. I think it would be too much

thanks jman. Now thinking about turbell electronic for the 40G
